Finding Some Holiday Inspiration

Well I can't believe it's November already!  Can you?   I'm enjoying a beautiful Autumn season but realizing how fast one month can fly by.  So I'm thinking ahead about some cute crafty Christmas gifts.
I keep all of my Christmas mags and like to go back to old ones for holiday inspiration.  I especially like the old Victoria mags.   They went all out at Christmas-time! 
Last year I made my mom a vintage framed postcard complete with some embellishments adorning it. 
She loved it!  That meant a lot to me because my mom is so talented and passed alot of her skills on to me.  However, the sewing gene skipped my generation.  So sad since I do so admire all of the creavity that goes into making quilts, clothes, purses, pillows and now - cards.    
This year I hope to do something that will make my mama smile when she opens up her gift!  Nothing like something hand-made with love ...
